Zombies are suckers for school degrees. Somehow we strongly believe that the more letters we place next to our names the more important we are -and eventually the highest paycheque will come-. It really doesn't matter what is behind those fancy letters. All it matters is that you actually can display them (even though, somehow they don't look that fancy on home-made business cards).
Based on that knowledge, Universities create all sorts of useless Master and Doctorate programs that will attract tons of "I will be successful"zombies, like the Liverpool Hope University where you can get a Masters degree on...The Beatles!... which analyzes the band's music and their impact on Western culture.
I have reviewed the program and still it is missing "Paul's Death Conspiracy Theory 101" and "John's Final Words 101 to 110", two of the most important subjects to learn if you really want to master the fine art of Beatle-mania. How can you actually produce a descent Beatles conversation if you don't really know what happened to Paul at the end of the 60s and who really killed John Lennon?
